Phycocyanin attenuates pulmonary fibrosis via the TLR2-MyD88-NF-κB signaling pathway

Abstract Our aim was to investigate the effects of phycocyanin (PC) on bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF). In this study, C57 BL/6 wild-type (WT) mice and toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 deficient mice were treated with PC for 28 days following BLM exposure. Serum and lung tissues were colle...
